This bibliometric study investigates the characteristics of teachers’s scientific production (PI) on DCI/UFRGS, published and recorded in SABi between 2000 and 2008 with the aim of study the publication’s profile using the indicators: Document Type, Publication Year, Country, Co-authors, Subjects, Proceedings and Journals used as a channel of scientific communication. It’s reveals a tendency to collaborative research between teachers and FABICO’s students and teachers (74.3%). Brazillian proceedings and periodicals are the most important channels of scientific communication. The most important events were: CBBD and INTERCOM. The journal Em Questão (FABICO’s electronic journal) was often used and as a channel of scientific communication. Information Science is still a field in training in Brazil, without standards of scientific communication’s behavior. Bibliometrics is an efficient method to collect subsidies for science decision making, but it requires attention as results’s interpretation.
